I know, I know. It's been a while since I blogged. Why? Honestly, I just haven't felt like it! Ha! I started two new fitness routines and have been focusing more on myself and trying to get myself into a routine. Now that I've got that figured out, I'm back! Here are a few things we did this week:
On Saturday before church, we decided to do some of our own family pictures. 😂 We take soooo many pictures, but I rarely get them printed. I really need to get back to scrapbooking them. It's nice to have this virtual kind of scrapbook, but I would like a tangible scrapbook too! I used to scrapbook with Jamie and Linda once a month. Oh how I miss those times! 😞
There are still so many leaves on the trees. Seriously, how are they still there?! We have so many fall on our decks and driveway, then Brett gets out the leaf blower, then they're back again in two days. We don't get it! They fall, fall, fall, but the trees still look full.
There are still wildfires here in Tennessee, as well as North Carolina and Georgia. The smoke has been thick and we have been under air quality alerts as well as burn bans. The kids have also not been able to go outside for recess. Please pray that we get some rain. We need it desperately! 😞
Janae has been working hard on a science fair project. Brett and I both hate science, so we weren't much help when she had questions! Ha! We took this picture the day of the science fair. There's Janae behind her project board. 😂
Pumpkin has been back several times and I am not happy with him! He has chewed more holes in our hot tub cover! We're pretty sure he's looking for water since the creeks are pretty much dry, so Brett filled a bucket of water and left it by the hot tub for him. Of course, he hasn't been back since he did that!
My grandma sent us a gift card for Texas Roadhouse, so we walked down there one night this week. It's at the complete opposite end of town from us, so it's a pretty good workout just getting there! I was smart and did not eat any bread, because I didn't want to be miserable on the trek home. The kiddos did not show that restraint! I'm pretty sure Easton had four rolls and Janae had five. Five! 🐷🐷🐷
Janae came home yesterday with lots of good news. She was one of the two finalists in her class spelling bee, so she gets to compete in the school spelling bee. She also won first place in the individual science fair! They only place the top three, and she won! We were beyond excited for her! She can take her project to the county science fair if she wants to. She says she doesn't want to, but we aren't giving her the choice. 😁
Easton brought this home from school.
It warms my heart that he still thinks about God and his family when he's at school. He also told me that he was thankful for presents because he knows that some kids don't get any. 😞
When I started my workout, Easton decided he wanted to do it with me. He did the entire thing. I had to push him a couple of times and tell him he could do it, but he made it through! It's nice having a workout buddy. Brett does weights with me, but I'm usually on my own for cardio because he hates it. Thanks little buddy! 😍💕😘
Today was the first day this week that I didn't smell any smoke and the sky was crystal clear. Absolutely gorgeous and 76 degrees. Too bad we are supposed to have a high of 42 on Sunday! I'm not going to complain though, because I know it's supposed to be much worse back in Indiana. That was one of the main reasons we moved, so please keep your snow up there! 😂
Tonight I have some special visitors coming for the weekend! My cousin Mandy, cousin-in- law Jamie and good friends Aimee and Tracie are coming for a girls' weekend! Yay!!!! I have been waiting, waiting, waiting ALL day for them to get here. A few more hours and they will be here! Can't wait to share all of the fun things we have planned for this weekend!
